Lingering In Your Ears

Lingering In Your Ears

A Poem by Shaun Payton

Greater than any knowledge is the summary
of every breath you have taken
and every way you could feel, while
walking or dreaming in the light of visions
Across the mystic night sky.

Outlines curl up next to you and they shelter
Those bad things, those confusions
Melting between lips while you confess
within, of wanting and needing,
a little wild side..

With dark silhouettes dancing and mocking
The sultry taste you explore in the idea's
You'd throttle back from everyone else's eyes

You could fire those embers with a brush of your hair
Or by intensifying those vibes, you know those.
Every desire rushing through like an exhausting pleasure
A consumption guaranteed to curl toes
And leave my whispers lingering in your ears.

It was a pleasure.
for some reason your poems remind me of coming home. they're what i read when i'm sitting comfortably in my favorite chair. it's similar to the affect of comfort food.

however, they also make feel terribly unqualified to leave a constructive review. you have such a command of your pen and this piece in particular makes me understand things that i can't explain (which is a curse for me).
